events

You are cordially invited to the official traditional opening of the academic year, where the ceremony will commence after the entry of the academic procession. On behalf of the Erasmus Trustfonds, various awards will be presented to outstanding students and initiatives at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Every year, some of our most significant donors are invited to a private evening in a domestic setting. In doing so, we aim to thank them for their commitment to the Erasmus Trustfonds. The evening involves a short, lively programme and ample opportunity to meet each other.

Let us take you into the world of medical science. Doctors and researchers at Erasmus MC are among the world’s best and will present important developments in their field. A fascinating and accessible programme.

A sporty first in this year’s programme: the Erasmus Trustfonds Padel Tournament. We offer a challenging programme including a catered reception and an award ceremony. Guests are welcome to join us at our expense to get acquainted with the Erasmus Trustfonds.

An informative meeting for alumni, Rotterdam residents, and (former) employees about making an impact by including the Erasmus University Rotterdam in your will. We put the spotlight on scientific research, and a notary will explain the do’s and don’ts when drawing up a will. Join us to find out all you need to know, and bring your partner, study friends, or year club mates.

The Erasmus University Rotterdam’s anniversary celebration. Central to the programme are the speech of rector magnificus Jantine Schuit and the presentation of honorary doctorates to leading scientists.

The Erasmus Trustfonds Scholarship Programme offers young talent the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree at Erasmus University Rotterdam, for whom this would otherwise not be possible. Donors of the Erasmus Trustfonds Scholarship Programme are warmly invited to this event. Meet the ambitious and driven students who, thanks to your support, are able to study at the university.
